: Looking at the vintage chronographs from the 60/70´ies, we all
: knew HEUER did an incredible good job.
: Autavia, Carrera, Monaco...all three made in beautiful cases with
: deligthful different dial designs (or quadruple D).
: The racing Autavias and the more elegant Carreras are my favorite
: ones, and I like the difference in style a lot!!!

: But when I run in my new BWC 3147 chrono some weeks ago, I was
: flashed at once. Why?
: As we all knew from Jeff´s execellent writing here at OTD, Heuer
: produced the Carrera 3147 with Landeron movement only for a
: short time around 1966-68 in two different generations.
: 1. gen. 3147 with date at 12, second generation with date at 9.
: 1. generation came only in two different color schemes, all black
: or all silver. I was always wondering why Heuer started Panda
: dials just at the second generation of the 3147...

: I guess that is one of the few mistakes they made at this time!
: As you can see looking at other Carreras, the (Reverse) panda dial
: fits perfectly well with the carrera case. The 2447 NS in my
: eyes is one of the most beautiful chronographs ever made!

: Looking at the BWC 3147 NS, there are some small differences
: between the Heuer & BWC chronograph design:

: The BWC case has straigth lugs, the date window has a silver frame
: and the white inner ring has a tachymeter scale. And the black
: dial is more glossy compared to the matt Heuer dials.
: But in result it is a remarkable chronograph!

: So here is a vintage ad from 1967 and two pics of my BWC 3147 NS,
: the watch Heuer missed to build.
